Robert Mittenthal at Apostrophe

Jurg Hock (Dance), Robert Mittenthal (poetry), and Robert Pedersen (music - electronics) will perform at Apostrophe. Apostrophe is a monthly series presenting three solo artists in one hour, testing for vistas within the camera obscura. Without theme or intermission, a dancer, musician and poet present their work, posing questions about the compositional frame (page, body, breath, instrument, floor, room) and how it shapes imagination and space. Co-presented by gallery 1412 and Seattle Improvised Music. Curated by Beth Graczyk, Gust Burns and Melanie Noel.

Saturday, Dec 15, 2007 8 p.m. gallery 1412 [1412 18th Avenue (at Union Street)] $5-15 sliding scale
